MabusIncarnate 5,344 Report post Posted October 21, 2018 I'm trying not to get too excited, but he already looks like a NHL defender that has a few seasons under his belt, makes very few mistakes and is strong with the puck. I feel a little better already about the future of the defense here. 4 1 Dabura, krsmith17, Hockeymom1960 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, to contribute to the convo, I found this: https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2018/10/21/dennis-cholowski-detroit-red-wings/1719362002/ Had the Wings not started the season without veteran defensemen Mike Green, Niklas Kronwall and Jonathan Ericsson, Cholowski would not have been thrown into a prominent role as a rookie. But he was, and responded with a goal in his first game. In his second, he contributed two assists. He leads all Wings defensemen with five points, and is tied for second in points overall on the team. His 21:48 of average ice time leads team defensemen. Shoulda drafted Chychryn.

A lot of people here were calling for Holland to be fired for trades 1 year cap hit of datsyuk and our #16 pick to Arizona for pick #20. A certain poster in particular until this season never stopped mentioning losing out on chychrun for a bottom pairing Dman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453 Report post Posted October 22, 2018 Smith had a lot of talent but it was coupled with a peanut sized brain for hockey. By most accounts Cholowski has good sense and a high hockey IQ, I ain't worried. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love it if I were the prospect projection take guy, but sadly I'm regularly wrong about them. For instance, I thought AA had Seguin upside and a floor of Ryan Kesler. I was way, way, wrong on that one. I was right about Frk. And I said one of Pulkkinen or Jurco would be good, and one would be bad. So I was 50% wrong on that one.
